Rencontre avec Louise Moaty

Meet Louise Moaty

On the occasion of the publication of Virginia Woolf’s book « Ceci est ma vie » by éditions des Belles Lettres

You may already have met Louise Moaty at MiMA, during the wonderful joint reading of Raphaël Meltz’s novel Après.

For this second visit, Louise is coming to present a landmark literary project: creating the autobiography Virginia Woolf never wrote! Here’s how.

« Ceci est ma vie » is the result of years spent immersed in the archives, journals, accounts, articles, and letters of the great British author. Louise Moaty has assembled chronologically what Woolf wrote in the first person, revealing a new text in the form of a self-portrait.

An extraordinarily ambitious, virtuosic, and delicate work, beautifully accomplished, with some sections never before translated into French. It invites us to discover something like a previously unpublished work by the great Virginia!
